Parker PN252-40 Male Pipe Thread Nipple 1/4 in 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER PN252-40 is a brass male pipe thread extended nipple fitting designed for use in hydraulic and fluid transfer applications requiring reliable, leak-resistant threaded connections. Rated to 200 psi maximum working pressure and compatible with temperatures ranging from -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F, this non-valved, straight fitting uses NPTF thread geometry to form a pressure-tight metal-to-metal seal without sealant tape. With a 1/4 inch body diameter and 1/4 inch thread size, it is a compact, lightweight component weighing 0.15 pounds and suited for precision fluid line assemblies.

The PN252-40 is part of the Parker Moldmate series, engineered specifically for die casting equipment and mold coolant lines. It is appropriate for industrial maintenance technicians and fluid system assemblers working on coolant distribution manifolds, hydraulic hose terminations, and similar close-tolerance plumbing installations where a straight, extended nipple profile is required. The NPTF thread form ensures compatibility with standard taper pipe thread ports common in industrial and OEM equipment.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in coolant and hydraulic fluid service
• NPTF thread form provides a pressure-tight seal at the thread interface
• 200 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Wide temperature range: -20 degrees F to 400 degrees F
• Non-valved straight configuration for unrestricted flow
• Part of the Parker Moldmate series designed for die casting and mold coolant applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with die casting equipment and mold coolant lines as part of the Parker Moldmate series. Compatible with standard 1/4 inch NPTF-ported equipment and hydraulic hose assemblies requiring a male pipe thread extended nipple connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified industrial technician or fluid system mechanic. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF threads are designed to seal on the thread form itself; inspect threads for damage before installation and torque to equipment manufacturer specifications. Follow applicable industry and facility safety codes for hydraulic and coolant line service.
